350Z Brake Pad Selection

[tiger]

Hey Guys,

I'm getting ready to buy brake pads for my Z for the first time. My Z is Non-Brembo. I was wondering what kind of experiences everyone else has had with their brakes.. like Endless, Hawk, Nismo, or another brand... I do not race this car or take it on the track. I know Endless brake pads are expensive, i'd like to stick to Nismo but i'm curious about the Hawk pads... If you have any experiences, please share. Thanks.

I have used HP+ and HPS from hawk and have been very pleased with them. HP+'s are a little harder on the rotor though... If all youre doing is street driving, stick with HPS.

thank you jabber. can anyone give me a review of the Nismo pads? Yeah, I'm only going to be doing street driving. My brakes are starting to squeak every now and then so i know it's getting close to brake job time!

im pretty sure they have a separate type of ceramic pad available... but i dont know anyone who has used them.
